When the French have fallen but their troops are still running around.

1.) When they take over Italian territiories, can the UK then take it for themselves if French move out.

2.) When US lands in Morrocco, can they take the French territiory if it was not first taken by Italy.

@Endeer:

In that case it would be entirely worth it for england if they can get the man power to the battle. If they could bring a tank or two infantry, and drop them. Than they can bombard with the cruiser that is off the Brazilian coast.

They can indeed hook up with the cruiser there, but Brasil is pro-Allies so it would be rude to bomb them ;)

okay here is what I do take (1sub, 1fighter) to 109 (2subs, 1fighter, 1tatical) to 110 and 111 (battelship cruiser fighter tatical) to 112
(infantry, artillery) to Normandy (5infantry, artillery, 4 mech, 5tanks, bomber) to France

-this will let you take out most of the RN with just subs as loses and there will nothing that the U.K. can do take europe.
france will be controlled by Germany. just build a destoryer in seasone 112 to prevent fighter attack on your navy. build a minor factory in Romaina this will frist let you build units in a better position in eastern europe + let you build subs for the med. with this and Normandy you should be able to help out Italy enough

This game will likeley need a hammer approach to taking france rather than the funnel of transports

Because of the distance between the US, UK, and Normandy. The US fleet wont run like clockwork back and forth to canada like in other AA games.

There will be turns not enough transports can be filled because of logistics issues.
If you have the French INF in UK, and could get maybe 3 more, these units are insulated against combat when/if they land during an NCM move. And could be good fodder for the US/UK units there doing the real fighting.

im also thinking of the psycological impact on the german player. to add 4 infantry to france, then take paris and add 4 more? humliation combined with a useful stack to protect paris on the road to victory.

@calvinhobbesliker:

@LHoffman:

@squirecam:

@Razor:

Easy, the game start after the Dunkirk evacuation and after the French navy was scuttled. There is no other way to do it.

The game does start after Dunkirk.

However, whether the French are “well represented” or not….they are finished after 1 round. If Germany doesnt do that, then this would be a QUICK allied victory.

I did some research last night and found out that the if the French are in control of their country at the start of the game … then the French Navy MUST still be “alive”.

The game starts befor the fall of France. This still leaves reasonable assumption that Dunkirk has happened (May 24-26 1940). French resistance ended on June 25. The British bombardment of the French Fleet at Mers-el-Kebir happened on July 4 (70 years ago tomorrow, interstingly enough).

Based on this information, French ships should still be present at the start of the game. They cannot say the game starts after Dunkirk AND the scuttling of the French Fleet. It is impossible because France is autonomous at the start of the game. I for one hope that France has ships and something can be done with them. Either the French person keeps them, the British can sink them or the Germans can use them, I don’t care. As long as they are there.

Actually, that was on the 3rd of July

Oh my mistake… so 70 years ago today. The book I got the information from said July 4.
